Pizza Review
Right around the corner from Roma in Tuckahoe, Polpettina is a much newer pizzeria/restaurant opening about 10 years ago and it's obviously influenced by Johnny's (Mount Vernon). It's a sauce on top, cheese on the bottom pizza. It's fairly expensive. Probably $23 for this small with added pecorino and basil (Get it Brooklyn option). Crust was well done without asking, no flop on sight, and yet saucey, with deli slices of mozzarella on the bottom. I had no real criticisms of this outside of the sauce not being that flavorful. It's really a good crust. Crispy but not to the point of being dry crunchy. Well done but not burnt. Flavor added with the basil and mocroplaned pecorino on top. Dave later said he underscored them a bit. But for me without the the added basil and pec I think his score is about right. This is a high 7, low 8. My favorite two spots in Westchester are Baci's in Montrose and Pizza Fenice in Pelham, and they're both somewhat better than this. I've still got several higher profile Westchester spots to hit up, but this will likely make my Top 15 or 20 in the county.
